Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electrical circuit breaker, and to a method and a device for measuring resistances of switching contacts of an electrical circuit breaker arranged in a series circuit.
- the present invention relates to a measurement of contact resistances of the closed switch contact or the closed switch contacts of the electrical circuit breaker.
- Circuit breakers also referred to as high voltage switches, circuit breakers or circuit breakers, are used in power engineering to make or break electrical connection under load.
- the rated voltages of the circuit breakers can range from a few volts to a few hundred kilovolts.
- the switched load currents can amount to tens of kiloamps in the event of a short circuit.
- the contact resistance of a switching contact or a plurality of series-connected switching contacts of the electrical circuit breaker is therefore checked, for example in the context of revisions.
- Circuit-breakers for medium-voltage systems usually have only one switching contact, which can be opened or closed.
- Circuit-breakers in high-voltage and extra-high voltage installations can comprise a plurality of switching contacts, so-called breaker units, in a series connection.
- capacitors with a size in the range of a few picofarads are generally arranged parallel to the individual interrupter units in order to distribute the voltage evenly across the individual interrupter units.
- Multiple breaker units in one phase of a circuit breaker are generally opened or closed simultaneously.
- the resistance measurement at the closed switching contact which is also referred to as a micro-ohm measurement, a Standard method for assessing the quality or wear of the circuit breaker.
- the micro-ohm measurement is usually carried out, for example, by impressing a high direct current of 100 amps across the closed switch contact.
- the current is fed in via current terminals, which are clamped on both sides of the circuit breaker to the conductors leading away from the circuit breaker. With other terminals, the voltage is also tapped on both sides of the circuit breaker.
- the voltage terminals are usually mounted closer to the switching contact of the circuit breaker and thus carried out a so-called four-wire measurement. This can be prevented that the voltage drop is measured along with the current terminals, whereby the measurement result would be falsified. From impressed current and measured voltage, the resistance of the closed switch contact, including the resistance of the supply lines from the voltage terminals to the switching contact can be determined.
- Kelvin clamps instead of separate current and voltage terminals, so-called Kelvin clamps can be used.
- Kelvin clamps two jaws of each terminal are electrically isolated from each other and one of the two jaws feeds the current and the other of the two jaws picks up the voltage.
- the advantage of these Kelvin clamps is that only one clamp is to be clamped on each side of the circuit breaker.
- a current source and a voltmeter can be used, so that voltage measurements on the various switch contacts can be performed one after the other. It is also possible to use a plurality of voltmeters, with the current being impressed with a common current source via a plurality of contacts and with the plurality of voltmeters being able to determine several voltage values at the same time.
- the circuit breaker Since in power engineering plants, for example in a substation, dangerously high voltages can occur in many places, it is necessary to earth the circuit breaker during this micro-ohm measurement. For example, the circuit breaker on both sides of the rest of the power grid can be separated and grounded on one side. The micro-ohm measurement can then be carried out precisely when the switch contact or closed switch contacts are closed. Frequently, further measurements are to be performed on the circuit breaker, in which the switching contact must be open at least temporarily, for example, a measurement of the time that the switch needs to open. In such measurements, a two-sided grounding of the switch is recommended in order to avoid a hazard to persons performing the measurement. For the micro-ohm measurement, therefore, one of the two groundings will be removed for the duration of the measurement, but this is very cumbersome, or the micro-ohm measurement will be faulty if grounded at both ends by the parallel earth loop.
- the circuit breaker In order to perform a micro-ohm measurement on a circuit breaker efficiently, the circuit breaker can be grounded on both sides and with a DC current clamp or a shunt, the proportion of current flowing from the power source through the grounding sets, be determined and used to correct the measured resistance. Although this method is very accurate, it has the disadvantage that additional measurements using the current clamp or shunt are required.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to enable an efficient resistance measurement or micro-ohm measurement for one or more switching contacts of an electrical circuit breaker, wherein a risk to personnel carrying out the resistance measurement should be largely avoided.
- This object is according to the present invention by a method for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electric circuit breaker according to claim 1, a device for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electrical circuit breaker according to claim 6 and a test environment for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electrical circuit breaker after Claim 8 solved.
- the dependent claims define preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention.
- a method of measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electric circuit breaker In the method, a first resistance across the circuit breaker is determined while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switch contact is closed. Furthermore, a second resistance across the circuit breaker is determined while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switch contact is open. In response to the first resistance value and the second resistance value, the resistance of the closed switch contact is determined. Earthing on both sides can be achieved, for example, by two grounding sets from ground to the corresponding conductors. Alternatively, the grounding may be performed by means of a grounding set that is connected to ground only once and has several terminals that can be earthed.
- the first resistance value when the switch contact is closed corresponds to a resistor of the parallel circuit consisting of a closed switch and ground.
- the second resistance value corresponds to the grounding resistance.
- R 1 is the first resistance value and R 2 is the second resistance value. Since the wiring does not have to be changed between the two measurements, the measurement can be carried out very accurately.
- the first and second resistance values are each determined by impressing a DC current into the double-ended circuit breaker and measuring a voltage across the circuit breaker.
- conventional micro-ohm measuring devices can be used for determining the first and second resistance values.
- the circuit breaker may include a three-phase switch. Each phase is assigned at least one switching contact. Three-phase switches can include one common or three separate drives. In some three-phase switches and individual phases can be switched individually, for example, in cases where an error occurs only at one phase and thus only the shutdown of a phase is necessary.
- the method described above can be applied individually for each phase and is therefore also suitable for multi-phase circuit breakers. The method can also be performed simultaneously on two or more phases, whereby a check of a multi-phase switch can be performed efficiently.
- the power switch may comprise a maximum high or medium voltage switch.
- the process is independent of the circuit-breaker voltage to be switched, it can be used for medium-voltage switches with a rated voltage of, for example, 1 kV - 45 kV, a high-voltage switch with a nominal voltage of 45 kV - 150 kV or a maximum voltage switch with a rated voltage of more than 150 kV become.
- an apparatus for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electric circuit breaker comprises a drive unit for driving the electrical circuit breaker to selectively open or close the switching contact of the circuit breaker.
- the device further comprises a Resistance measuring device, which can be coupled to the drive unit and the circuit breaker.
- the resistance measuring device is capable of determining a first resistance across the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the circuit breaker switching contact is closed.
- the resistance measuring device is further able to determine a second resistance across the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is open. In dependence on the first resistance value and the second resistance value, the resistance measuring device determines the resistance of the closed switching contact.
- the resistance measuring device when the resistance measuring device is coupled to the drive unit for opening and closing the switching contact of the circuit breaker, the resistance measurement can be carried out fully automatically. For example, after connecting the resistance measuring device to the electrical circuit breaker and grounding the circuit breaker on both sides, the switching contact of the circuit breaker is automatically closed, then the first resistance value is measured and then, after the switching contact has been opened automatically, the second resistance value is measured. Finally, the resistance measuring device can determine and output the resistance of the switching contact according to the equation described above.
- the device may also be designed to carry out the method described above or one of its embodiments, and therefore also comprises the advantages described above.
- a test environment for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electric circuit breaker.
- the test environment includes the circuit breaker, first and second grounding sets, and a resistance measuring device.
- the first grounding set is coupleable to a first side of the circuit breaker to ground the first side of the circuit breaker.
- the second grounding set can be coupled to a second side of the circuit breaker to ground this second side.
- the resistance measuring device can be coupled to the two sides of the circuit breaker in such a way that a resistance value can be determined by means of the resistance measuring device can be determined across the circuit breaker, while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is closed, and a second resistance across the circuit breaker is determined while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is opened.
- the resistance of the closed switching contact can furthermore be determined as a function of the first resistance value and the second resistance value.

- the test environment 10 further comprises a Mikroohmmessvorraum 17, which is coupled via four connections 24-27 with the two sides of the circuit breaker 11.
- the circuit breaker 11 comprises an electrical switching contact 16, which can be selectively opened or closed by means of a control drive 19 and a mechanical coupling 18, to establish or interrupt a connection between the lines 12 and 13.
- the control drive 19 can be controlled, for example via a control line 28 to open the switch contact 16 or close.
- the control drive 19 can be manually controlled or actuated by an operator to selectively open or close the switching contact 16.
- the device 17 comprises a resistance measuring device which comprises, for example, a current source 23 and a voltmeter 22.
- the current source 23 impresses a current I through the power switch 11 and the two-sided grounding 14, 15 via the connections 24, 25 and the voltmeter 22 detects a voltage drop V across the connections 26, 27 across the power switch 11.
- the device 17 further comprises a Processing unit 20, which calculates a resistance across the power switch 11 in dependence on the current I impressed by the current source 23 and the voltage V measured by the voltage meter 22 voltage.
- the processing unit 20 is further coupled to a drive unit 21 of the device 17, which activates the control drive 19 of the power switch 11 via the connection 28.
- the processing unit 20 is able to selectively open or close the switch contact 16. The operation of the device 17 will be described below.
- the circuit breaker 11 is earthed by means of the grounding sets 14 and 15 on both sides.
- the resistance measuring device 22, 23 is, as in Fig. 1 represented connected to the power switch 11, that a resistor across the power switch 11 is measurable. Then two resistance values are determined one after the other.
- a resistance value R 1 is determined when the switching contact 16 is closed and a resistance value R 2 is determined when the switching contact 16 is open.
- the resistor R 1 corresponds to a parallel circuit of the resistor of the switching contact 16 and the ground loop on the ground sets 14, 15, and the resistor R 2 corresponds only to the resistance of the ground loop on the ground sets 14, 15 using the equation described above may be made of these resistances of the resistance of the closed switch contact 16 are calculated. This is done by the processing unit 20.
- the processing unit 20 can also selectively open or close the switch contact 16 via the control unit 21 and therefore perform the two resistance measurements in turn once with the switch contact 16 open and once with the switch contact 16 closed, and then calculate the resistance of the closed switch contact 16 therefrom.
- An order in which the two resistance measurements are performed is arbitrary.
- the processing unit 20 can instruct a user via a corresponding display to open or close the switching contact 16 manually or via a corresponding actuating device if an automatic control via the drive unit 21 and the connection 28 is not provided. Since the circuit breaker 11 is grounded on both sides during the entire measurement, it can be ensured that no dangerously high voltages are applied to the circuit breaker 11.

- the device 58 comprises a first resistance measuring unit, which comprises a voltmeter 60 and a current source 61, and a second resistance measuring unit, which comprises a voltmeter 66 and a current source 67.
- the first resistance measuring device 60, 61 is connected via connections 62-65 to the first switching contact 56 in such a way that a current I 1 of the current source 61 can be impressed via the switching contact 65 when the switching contact 56 is closed.
- the voltmeter is connected via the connections 64 and 65 to the switching contact 56 such that a voltage drop U 1 across the switching contact 56 can be measured.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters sowie ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Messung von Widerständen von in einer Reihenschaltung angeordneten Schaltkontakten eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft insbesondere eine Messung von Übergangswiderständen des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts oder der geschlossenen Schaltkontakte des elektrischen Leistungsschalters.The present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electrical circuit breaker, and to a method and a device for measuring resistances of switching contacts of an electrical circuit breaker arranged in a series circuit. In particular, the present invention relates to a measurement of contact resistances of the closed switch contact or the closed switch contacts of the electrical circuit breaker.
Leistungsschalter, welche auch als Hochspannungsschalter, Lastschalter oder Circuit Breaker bezeichnet werden, werden in der Energietechnik verwendet, um elektrische Verbindung unter Last herzustellen oder zu trennen. Die Nennspannungen der Leistungsschalter können im Bereich von wenigen Volt bis zu einigen hundert Kilovolt liegen. Die geschalteten Lastströme können bei einem Kurzschluss mehrere zehn Kiloampere betragen. Für einen zuverlässigen Betrieb des Leistungsschalters wird daher beispielsweise im Rahmen von Revisionen der Übergangswiderstand eines Schaltkontakts oder mehrerer in Reihe angeordneter Schaltkontakte des elektrischen Leistungsschalters überprüft.Circuit breakers, also referred to as high voltage switches, circuit breakers or circuit breakers, are used in power engineering to make or break electrical connection under load. The rated voltages of the circuit breakers can range from a few volts to a few hundred kilovolts. The switched load currents can amount to tens of kiloamps in the event of a short circuit. For reliable operation of the circuit breaker, the contact resistance of a switching contact or a plurality of series-connected switching contacts of the electrical circuit breaker is therefore checked, for example in the context of revisions.
Leistungsschalter für Mittelspannungsanlagen haben meist nur einen Schaltkontakt, welcher geöffnet oder geschlossen werden kann. Leistungsschalter in Hoch- und Höchstspannungsanlagen können mehrere Schaltkontakte, sogenannte Unterbrechereinheiten, in einer Reihenschaltung umfassen. Bei der Reihen- oder Serienschaltung mehrerer Unterbrechereinheiten werden im Allgemeinen noch Kondensatoren mit einer Größe im Bereich von einigen Pikofarad parallel zu den einzelnen Unterbrechereinheiten angeordnet, um die Spannung gleichmäßig über die einzelnen Unterbrechereinheiten zu verteilen. Mehrere Unterbrechereinheiten in einer Phase eines Leistungsschalters werden im Allgemeinen gleichzeitig geöffnet oder geschlossen.Circuit-breakers for medium-voltage systems usually have only one switching contact, which can be opened or closed. Circuit-breakers in high-voltage and extra-high voltage installations can comprise a plurality of switching contacts, so-called breaker units, in a series connection. In the series or series connection of multiple interrupter units, capacitors with a size in the range of a few picofarads are generally arranged parallel to the individual interrupter units in order to distribute the voltage evenly across the individual interrupter units. Multiple breaker units in one phase of a circuit breaker are generally opened or closed simultaneously.
Bei Leistungsschaltern ist die Widerstandsmessung am geschlossenen Schaltkontakt, welche auch als Mikroohmmessung bezeichnet wird, ein Standardverfahren zur Beurteilung einer Qualität oder eines Verschleißzustandes des Leistungsschalters.For circuit breakers, the resistance measurement at the closed switching contact, which is also referred to as a micro-ohm measurement, a Standard method for assessing the quality or wear of the circuit breaker.
In diesem Zusammenhang offenbart die Veröffentlichung von "
Die Mikroohmmessung wird üblicherweise durchgeführt, indem beispielsweise ein hoher Gleichstrom von 100 Ampere über den geschlossenen Schaltkontakt eingeprägt wird. Der Strom wird dazu über Stromklemmen eingespeist, welche an beiden Seiten des Leistungsschalters an die Leiter, welche vom Leistungsschalter wegführen, angeklemmt werden. Mit weiteren Klemmen wird die Spannung ebenfalls an beiden Seiten des Leistungsschalters abgegriffen. Die Spannungsklemmen werden üblicherweise näher am Schaltkontakt des Leistungsschalters angebracht und somit eine sogenannte Vierdrahtmessung durchgeführt. Dadurch kann verhindert werden, dass der Spannungsabfall an den Stromklemmen mitgemessen wird, wodurch das Messergebnis verfälscht werden würde. Aus eingeprägtem Strom und gemessener Spannung kann der Widerstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts inklusive des Widerstandes der Zuleitungen von den Spannungsklemmen bis zum Schaltkontakt bestimmt werden. Alternativ können statt getrennter Strom- und Spannungsklemmen sogenannte Kelvinklemmen zum Einsatz kommen. Bei Kelvinklemmen sind zwei Backen einer jeweiligen Klemme voneinander elektrisch isoliert und über eine der zwei Backen wird der Strom eingespeist und über die andere der zwei Backen wird die Spannung abgegriffen. Der Vorteil dieser Kelvinklemmen ist, dass nur eine Klemme an jeder Seite des Leistungsschalters anzuklemmen ist.The micro-ohm measurement is usually carried out, for example, by impressing a high direct current of 100 amps across the closed switch contact. The current is fed in via current terminals, which are clamped on both sides of the circuit breaker to the conductors leading away from the circuit breaker. With other terminals, the voltage is also tapped on both sides of the circuit breaker. The voltage terminals are usually mounted closer to the switching contact of the circuit breaker and thus carried out a so-called four-wire measurement. This can be prevented that the voltage drop is measured along with the current terminals, whereby the measurement result would be falsified.

Alternatively, instead of separate current and voltage terminals, so-called Kelvin clamps can be used. In Kelvin clamps, two jaws of each terminal are electrically isolated from each other and one of the two jaws feeds the current and the other of the two jaws picks up the voltage. The advantage of these Kelvin clamps is that only one clamp is to be clamped on each side of the circuit breaker.
Zur Mikroohmmessung können, wie zuvor beschrieben wurde, eine Stromquelle und ein Spannungsmesser verwendet werden, sodass Spannungsmessungen an den verschiedenen Schaltkontakten nacheinander durchgeführt werden können. Es können auch mehrere Spannungsmesser verwendet werden, wobei mit einer gemeinsamen Stromquelle über mehrere Kontakte der Strom eingeprägt wird und mit den mehreren Spannungsmessern mehrere Spannungswerte gleichzeitig ermittelt werden können.For micro-ohm measurement, as described above, a current source and a voltmeter can be used, so that voltage measurements on the various switch contacts can be performed one after the other. It is also possible to use a plurality of voltmeters, with the current being impressed with a common current source via a plurality of contacts and with the plurality of voltmeters being able to determine several voltage values at the same time.
Da in energietechnischen Anlagen, beispielsweise in einem Umspannwerk, an vielen Stellen gefährlich hohe Spannungen auftreten können, ist es notwendig den Leistungsschalter während dieser Mikroohmmessung zu erden. Beispielsweise kann der Leistungsschalter an beiden Seiten vom übrigen Energienetz getrennt werden und an einer Seite geerdet werden. Die Mikroohmmessung kann dann bei geschlossenem Schaltkontakt oder geschlossenen Schaltkontakten präzise durchgeführt werden. Häufig sind weitere Messungen an dem Leistungsschalter durchzuführen, bei denen der Schaltkontakt zumindest zeitweise geöffnet sein muss, beispielsweise eine Messung der Zeit, die der Schalter zum Öffnen benötigt. Bei derartigen Messungen ist eine beidseitige Erdung des Schalters empfehlenswert, um eine Gefährdung von Personen, welche die Messung durchführen, zu vermeiden. Für die Mikroohmmessung wird daher eine der beiden Erdungen für die Dauer der Messung entfernt werden, was jedoch sehr umständlich ist, oder die Mikroohmmessung wird bei beidseitiger Erdung durch die parallele Erdschleife fehlerhaft.Since in power engineering plants, for example in a substation, dangerously high voltages can occur in many places, it is necessary to earth the circuit breaker during this micro-ohm measurement. For example, the circuit breaker on both sides of the rest of the power grid can be separated and grounded on one side. The micro-ohm measurement can then be carried out precisely when the switch contact or closed switch contacts are closed. Frequently, further measurements are to be performed on the circuit breaker, in which the switching contact must be open at least temporarily, for example, a measurement of the time that the switch needs to open. In such measurements, a two-sided grounding of the switch is recommended in order to avoid a hazard to persons performing the measurement. For the micro-ohm measurement, therefore, one of the two groundings will be removed for the duration of the measurement, but this is very cumbersome, or the micro-ohm measurement will be faulty if grounded at both ends by the parallel earth loop.
Um eine Mikroohmmessung an einem Leistungsschalter effizient durchführen zu können, kann der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet werden und mit einer gleichstromfähigen Stromzange oder einem Shunt der Anteil des Stroms, welcher von der Stromquelle durch die Erdungsgarnituren fließt, ermittelt werden und zur Korrektur des gemessenen Widerstands herangezogen werden. Dieses Verfahren ist zwar sehr genau, hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass zusätzliche Messungen mittels der Stromzange oder dem Shunt erforderlich sind.In order to perform a micro-ohm measurement on a circuit breaker efficiently, the circuit breaker can be grounded on both sides and with a DC current clamp or a shunt, the proportion of current flowing from the power source through the grounding sets, be determined and used to correct the measured resistance. Although this method is very accurate, it has the disadvantage that additional measurements using the current clamp or shunt are required.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine effiziente Widerstandsmessung oder Mikroohmmessung für einen oder mehrere Schaltkontakte eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters zu ermöglichen, wobei eine Gefährdung von Personal, welches die Widerstandsmessung durchführt, weitestgehend vermieden werden sollte.The object of the present invention is therefore to enable an efficient resistance measurement or micro-ohm measurement for one or more switching contacts of an electrical circuit breaker, wherein a risk to personnel carrying out the resistance measurement should be largely avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung durch ein Verfahren zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters nach Anspruch 1, eine Vorrichtung zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters nach Anspruch 6 und eine Testumgebung zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters nach Anspruch 8 gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche definieren bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung.This object is according to the present invention by a method for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electric circuit breaker according to claim 1, a device for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electrical circuit breaker according to claim 6 and a test environment for measuring a resistance of a switch contact of an electrical circuit breaker after Claim 8 solved. The dependent claims define preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Verfahren zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters bereitgestellt. Bei dem Verfahren wird ein erster Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter bestimmt, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet ist und der Schaltkontakt geschlossen ist. Weiterhin wird ein zweiter Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter bestimmt, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet ist und der Schaltkontakt geöffnet ist. In Abhängigkeit von dem ersten Widerstandswert und dem zweiten Widerstandswert wird der Widerstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts bestimmt. Die Erdung an beiden Seiten kann beispielsweise durch zwei Erdungsgarnituren von Erde zu den entsprechenden Leitern erreicht werden. Alternativ kann die Erdung mittels einer Erdungsgarnitur, die nur einmal an Erde angeschlossen ist und mehrere Anschlüsse hat, mit denen geerdet werden kann, durchgeführt werden. Der erste Widerstandswert bei geschlossenem Schaltkontakt entspricht einem Widerstand der Parallelschaltung aus geschlossenem Schalter und Erdung. Der zweite Widerstandswert entspricht dem Erdungswiderstand. Der Widerstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts RSchalter kann beispielsweise durch die folgende Gleichung bestimmt werden:
Wobei R1 der erste Widerstandswert und R2 der zweite Widerstandswert ist. Da zwischen den beiden Messungen die Verdrahtung nicht Verändert werden muss, kann die Messung sehr genau durchgeführt werden.Where R 1 is the first resistance value and R 2 is the second resistance value. Since the wiring does not have to be changed between the two measurements, the measurement can be carried out very accurately.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform werden der erste und zweite Widerstandswert jeweils bestimmt, indem ein Gleichstrom in den beidseitig geerdeten Leistungsschalter eingeprägt wird und eine Spannung über dem Leistungsschalter gemessen wird. Somit können übliche Mikroohmmessvorrichtungen zum Bestimmen des ersten und zweiten Widerstandswerts verwendet werden.In one embodiment, the first and second resistance values are each determined by impressing a DC current into the double-ended circuit breaker and measuring a voltage across the circuit breaker. Thus, conventional micro-ohm measuring devices can be used for determining the first and second resistance values.
Der Leistungsschalter kann einen Dreiphasenschalter umfassen. Jeder Phase ist mindestens ein Schaltkontakt zugeordnet. Dreiphasige Schalter können einen gemeinsamen oder drei getrennte Antriebe umfassen. Bei einigen dreiphasigen Schaltern können auch einzelne Phasen individuell geschaltet werden, beispielsweise in Fällen, bei denen ein Fehler nur an einer Phase auftritt und somit auch nur die Abschaltung einer Phase notwendig ist. Das zuvor beschriebene Verfahren kann für jede Phase einzeln angewendet werden und ist daher auch für mehrphasige Leistungsschalter geeignet. Das Verfahren kann auch gleichzeitig an zwei oder mehr Phasen durchgeführt werden, wodurch eine Überprüfung eines mehrphasigen Schalters effizient durchgeführt werden kann. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann der Leistungsschalter einen Höchst- Hoch- oder Mittelspannungsschalter umfassen. Da das Verfahren unabhängig von der zu schaltenden Spannung des Leistungsschalters ist, kann es für Mittelspannungsschalter mit einer Nennspannung von beispielsweise 1 kV - 45 kV, einem Hochspannungsschalter mit einer Nennspannung von 45 kV - 150 kV oder einem Höchstspannungsschalter mit einer Nennspannung von über 150 kV angewendet werden.The circuit breaker may include a three-phase switch. Each phase is assigned at least one switching contact. Three-phase switches can include one common or three separate drives. In some three-phase switches and individual phases can be switched individually, for example, in cases where an error occurs only at one phase and thus only the shutdown of a phase is necessary. The method described above can be applied individually for each phase and is therefore also suitable for multi-phase circuit breakers. The method can also be performed simultaneously on two or more phases, whereby a check of a multi-phase switch can be performed efficiently. According to a further embodiment, the power switch may comprise a maximum high or medium voltage switch. Since the process is independent of the circuit-breaker voltage to be switched, it can be used for medium-voltage switches with a rated voltage of, for example, 1 kV - 45 kV, a high-voltage switch with a nominal voltage of 45 kV - 150 kV or a maximum voltage switch with a rated voltage of more than 150 kV become.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird weiterhin eine Vorrichtung zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters bereitgestellt. Die Vorrichtung umfasst eine Ansteuereinheit zum Ansteuern des elektrischen Leistungsschalters, um den Schaltkontakt des Leistungsschalters wahlweise zu öffnen oder zu schließen. Die Vorrichtung umfasst weiterhin eine Widerstandsmesseinrichtung, welche mit der Ansteuereinheit und dem Leistungsschalter koppelbar ist. Die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung ist in der Lage, einen ersten Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter zu bestimmen, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet ist und der Schaltkontakt des Leistungsschalters geschlossen ist. Die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung ist ferner in der Lage, einen zweiten Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter zu bestimmen, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet ist und der Schaltkontakt geöffnet ist. In Abhängigkeit von dem ersten Widerstandswert und dem zweiten Widerstandswert bestimmt die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung den Widerstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts. Insbesondere wenn die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung mit der Ansteuereinheit zum Öffnen und Schließen des Schaltkontakts des Leistungsschalters gekoppelt ist, kann die Widerstandsmessung vollautomatisch durchgeführt werden. Beispielsweise kann nach Anschließen der Widerstandsmesseinrichtung an den elektrischen Leistungsschalter und beidseitiges Erden des Leistungsschalters zunächst automatisch der Schaltkontakt des Leistungsschalters geschlossen werden, dann der erste Widerstandswert gemessen werden und anschließend, nachdem der Schaltkontakt automatisch geöffnet wurde, der zweite Widerstandswert gemessen werden. Abschließend kann die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung gemäß der zuvor beschriebenen Gleichung den Widerstand des Schaltkontakts bestimmen und ausgeben.According to the present invention, there is further provided an apparatus for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electric circuit breaker. The device comprises a drive unit for driving the electrical circuit breaker to selectively open or close the switching contact of the circuit breaker. The device further comprises a Resistance measuring device, which can be coupled to the drive unit and the circuit breaker. The resistance measuring device is capable of determining a first resistance across the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the circuit breaker switching contact is closed. The resistance measuring device is further able to determine a second resistance across the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is open. In dependence on the first resistance value and the second resistance value, the resistance measuring device determines the resistance of the closed switching contact. In particular, when the resistance measuring device is coupled to the drive unit for opening and closing the switching contact of the circuit breaker, the resistance measurement can be carried out fully automatically. For example, after connecting the resistance measuring device to the electrical circuit breaker and grounding the circuit breaker on both sides, the switching contact of the circuit breaker is automatically closed, then the first resistance value is measured and then, after the switching contact has been opened automatically, the second resistance value is measured. Finally, the resistance measuring device can determine and output the resistance of the switching contact according to the equation described above.
Die Vorrichtung kann ferner zur Durchführung des zuvor beschriebenen Verfahrens oder einer seiner Ausführungsformen ausgestaltet sein und umfasst daher auch die zuvor beschriebenen Vorteile.The device may also be designed to carry out the method described above or one of its embodiments, and therefore also comprises the advantages described above.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird weiterhin eine Testumgebung zur Messung eines Widerstands eines Schaltkontakts eines elektrischen Leistungsschalters bereitgestellt. Die Testumgebung umfasst den Leistungsschalter, eine erste und eine zweite Erdungsgarnitur und eine Widerstandsmesseinrichtung. Die erste Erdungsgarnitur ist mit einer ersten Seite des Leistungsschalters koppelbar, um die erste Seite des Leistungsschalters zu erden. Die zweite Erdungsgarnitur ist mit einer zweiten Seite des Leistungsschalters koppelbar, um diese zweite Seite zu erden. Die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung ist mit den beiden Seiten des Leistungsschalters derart koppelbar, dass mithilfe der Widerstandsmesseinrichtung ein erster Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter bestimmbar ist, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet und der Schaltkontakt geschlossen ist, und ein zweiter Widerstandswert über dem Leistungsschalter bestimmbar ist, während der Leistungsschalter beidseitig geerdet ist und der Schaltkontakt geöffnet ist. Mithilfe der Widerstandsmesseinrichtung ist ferner der Widerstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts in Abhängigkeit von dem ersten Widerstandswert und dem zweiten Widerstandswert bestimmbar.According to the present invention, there is further provided a test environment for measuring a resistance of a switching contact of an electric circuit breaker. The test environment includes the circuit breaker, first and second grounding sets, and a resistance measuring device. The first grounding set is coupleable to a first side of the circuit breaker to ground the first side of the circuit breaker. The second grounding set can be coupled to a second side of the circuit breaker to ground this second side. The resistance measuring device can be coupled to the two sides of the circuit breaker in such a way that a resistance value can be determined by means of the resistance measuring device can be determined across the circuit breaker, while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is closed, and a second resistance across the circuit breaker is determined while the circuit breaker is grounded on both sides and the switching contact is opened. With the aid of the resistance measuring device, the resistance of the closed switching contact can furthermore be determined as a function of the first resistance value and the second resistance value.

Die Vorrichtung 17 umfasst eine Widerstandsmesseinrichtung, welche beispielsweise eine Stromquelle 23 und einen Spannungsmesser 22 umfasst. Die Stromquelle 23 prägt über die Verbindungen 24, 25 einen Strom I durch den Leistungsschalter 11 und die beidseitige Erdung 14, 15 ein und der Spannungsmesser 22 erfasst über die Verbindungen 26, 27 einen Spannungsabfall V über dem Leistungsschalter 11. Die Vorrichtung 17 umfasst weiterhin eine Verarbeitungseinheit 20, welche in Abhängigkeit von dem von der Stromquelle 23 eingeprägten Strom I und der von dem Spannungsmesser 22 gemessenen Spannung V einen Widerstand über dem Leistungsschalter 11 berechnet. Die Verarbeitungseinheit 20 ist ferner mit einer Ansteuereinheit 21 der Vorrichtung 17 gekoppelt, welche über die Verbindung 28 den Steuerantrieb 19 des Leistungsschalters 11 ansteuert. Somit ist die Verarbeitungseinheit 20 in der Lage, den Schaltkontakt 16 wahlweise zu öffnen oder zu schließen. Die Arbeitsweise der Vorrichtung 17 wird nachfolgend beschrieben werden.The
Der Leistungsschalter 11 wird mithilfe der Erdungsgarnituren 14 und 15 beidseitig geerdet. Die Widerstandsmesseinrichtung 22, 23 wird, wie in
Die Hochspannungsleitungen 52, 53, welche an beiden Enden des Leistungsschalters 51 angeschlossen sind, werden über die Erdungsgarnituren 54, 55 mit Erde verbunden. Die Vorrichtung 58 wird wie zuvor beschrieben an die Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 angeschlossen. Die Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 werden geschlossen. Von der Stromquelle 61 wird ein Strom I1 auf die Hochspannungsleitung 52 eingeprägt. Der Strom I1 fließt daher zum Teil als Strom IS1 von links nach rechts durch den geschlossenen Schaltkontakt 56 und zu einem anderen Teil als Strom IE1 über die Erdungsgarnitur 54 nach Erde ab. Die Stromquelle 67 prägt einen Strom I2 auf die Hochspannungsleitung 53 ein. Der Strom I2 fließt zum Teil als Strom IS2 von rechts nach links durch den geschlossenen Schaltkontakt 57 und zu einem weiteren Teil als Strom IE2 durch die Erdungsgarnitur 55 nach Erde ab. Aufgrund des Übergangswiderstands des Schaltkontakts 56 tritt über dem Schaltkontakt 56 ein Spannungsabfall U1 auf. Ebenso tritt aufgrund des Übergangswiderstands des Schaltkontakts 57 ein Spannungsabfall U2 über dem Schaltkontakt 57 auf. Da die Ströme IS1 und IS2 entgegengesetzt gerichtet eingespeist werden, sind die Spannungsabfälle U1 und U2 ebenfalls entgegengesetzt gerichtet. Wenn die Übergangswiderstände der Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 im Wesentlichen gleich sind und darüber hinaus die Ströme I1 und I2 im Wesentlichen gleich sind, sind die Spannungsabfälle U1 und U2 ebenfalls betragsmäßig gleich. Dadurch ist der Spannungsabfall UE über der Erdungsschleife gleich null, sodass auch die Ströme IE1 und IE2 jeweils null sind. In diesem Fall entspricht der Strom IS1 durch den Schaltkontakt 56 dem Strom I1, sodass der Übergangswiderstand des Schaltkontakts 56 einzig in Abhängigkeit von dem Strom I1 und der von dem Spannungsmesser 60 gemessenen Spannung U1 bestimmt werden kann. Ebenso kann der Übergangswiderstand des geschlossenen Schaltkontakts 57 einzig anhand des Stroms I2, welcher in diesem Fall dem Strom IS2 entspricht, und der von dem Spannungsmesser 66 gemessenen Spannung U2 bestimmt werden. Da die Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 im Allgemeinen baugleich sind und einer gleichen Beanspruchung unterliegen, weisen sie im Allgemeinen einen gleichen Übergangswiderstand im geschlossenen Zustand auf, sodass die zuvor beschriebenen Bedingungen erfüllt werden und für diesen sogenannten symmetrischen Fall eine einfache und genaue Bestimmung der Übergangswiderstände möglich ist. Die Verarbeitungseinheit 59 kann die entsprechenden Widerstandswerte anhand von Informationen der Widerstandsmesseinrichtungen 60, 61 und 66, 67 bestimmen und ausgeben. Für den Fall, dass die Übergangswiderstände der Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 unterschiedlich groß sind, kann die Steuervorrichtung 59 die Ströme I1 und I2 derart einstellen, dass die Spannungsabfälle U1 und U2 betragsmäßig im Wesentlichen gleich sind. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass auch in diesem nicht symmetrischen Fall die Spannung UE über der Erdungsschleife im Wesentlichen null beträgt und somit der Übergangswiderstand der einzelnen Schaltkontakte 56 und 57 anhand des Stroms I1 bzw. I2 und der Spannungsabfälle U1 bzw. U2 bestimmt werden können.The
